Call for: FRIT TESTER, Val Cox Frit
Now that my frit book is finished, I'm going to be looking at new frit colors, grind sizes and blend designs more actively once again, and could use some assistance in testing new and existing frit colors.
I will need a frit tester (or two) for my www.valcoxfrit.com glass frits site, for an ongoing project. You will receive artistic credit for any images shown on my site.
You can contact me at: val (at) valcox.com
I will send you an ample supply of frits for testing (generally 3-4 colors at a time), with plenty left over for your own use. I will need photos of the color sample and a brief summary via email on your assesement of new colors which you found favorable or disfavorable.
To help me select the right candidate, please include in your email the following information:
1. Full name, email, telephone number,
2. Website (or etsy/ebay) for reference, if available.
3. How long you've been making beads
4. Torch type
5. Specify your camera type and model
6. Base glass type you typically work in (104coe, 96coe) etc
7. Title your email: 'Frit tester'
There is no pay involved, beyond the extra frit which is yours to keep. You agree that I may use your photo (with artitisic credit to you) on my website www.valcoxfrit.com if the image is one that I can use to describe a color or effect.
Feel free to ask any questions. Thank you! Val

Sounds like a great job!! I'd love to apply, but I am sorely frit challenged!!
When I get a job, I am buying your frit book! Maybe it will help I've heard great things about your book Val...
Cheers
Kristi

Thank you, I have some excellent candidates now to choose from.
I appreciate those who submitted your information. I'll be out of town Wednesday and Thursday, but I'll be back late Friday and should have it narrowed down by then. I'll reply to each who wrote to me, after I look everything over.
(thanks for the kind words about the book Nikki!)
(dreamscapes, I looked, but didn't see your email come through. Perhaps I'm not recognizing the screen name difference. Feel free to resend val@valcox.com )
Thank you, I'm all set now! Val

Thanks Dreamscapes and Leia.
I'm all set now...I have a good number to choose from, in a full range of glass and torch types, and experience levels, which is just what I needed.
I won't need anymore to choose from at this time. I'll write to each on Friday after I select the small group, and I'll start getting some packets and instructions together. Thank you.
